delegate

delegate is a command for Claude Code from xzawed/claude-grok-build-plugin. It costs 7 tokens per session (900 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for sending a coding task to Grok Build after checking that it is ready and that delegation is suitable.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to delegate approved coding tasks, isolate broad changes in a worktree, and continue a later task with its session ID.
Why use it?
It avoids sending unsuitable or risky work to the coding worker and makes the result, changed files, and configured billing mode visible for review.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

delegate scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Call grok_build_status first with the task's absolute cwd (or grok_auth_check with that cwd when you only need auth) — grok resolves a relative GROK_HOME against the folder it runs in, so the check looks there. (With worktree: true grok runs in a new worktree instead; the delegation re-checks that folder itself and explains a refusal.) If ready is false, stop and show the message. If it reports billingMismatch, tell the user that the server is in subscription mode but their delegation history contains metered runs, so GROK_BUILD_AUTH_MODE was api for some of them. The flag is about past history, not a prediction that the next call will bill as metered.

If it reports billingCaveat, show its message before delegating: grok's config.toml gives some model its own key or one it inherits from [model_providers.<id>] (or could not be checked), so a run on that model may be billed to that key even though billing says subscription. It is a warning — do not stop.

If the task's fit for Grok is unclear, call grok_build_route and follow nextAction. When it says handle_with_claude, do not force Grok. When nextAction.requiresHumanGateBeforeDelegate is set, run grok_build_plan and wait for the user's approval before any edit. If the plan result has planWroteFiles or committed set to true, the tree already changed before any approval — say so first.

Otherwise call grok_build_delegate with the user's task as prompt and an absolute cwd. For wide or risky edits pass worktree: true, so changes land in an isolated worktree instead of the working tree.

If status is not completed (auth_error, timeout, or grok_error), show the returned message and stop — do not report the run as done; filesChanged may still list partial edits.

Show the returned summary, filesChanged, and — importantly — the billing field, so the user sees which mode the server was configured in. It is a tag derived from GROK_BUILD_AUTH_MODE, not a measured charge. If the result carries billingCaveat, show its message beside billing. If the result includes sessionId, note that a follow-up can use /grok:resume (or resume on the next delegate). A completed result can also carry a message — show it whenever there is one: besides a commit notice, it can say that the prompt, with any files it @-mentions or skill it invokes, was too long for grok (its request to the model left out part of the prompt or of what grok added to it), so the work may not reflect the whole prompt.

If committed is true, grok made a git commit although this plugin never commits — show the returned message: it names the folder whose HEAD moved and the commit it moved from, with how to inspect and undo it there (never run those commands in another folder; in a worktree: true run the commit is on the worktree's branch, which grok_build_worktree diff/apply do not carry). Do not read an empty or short filesChanged as "nothing changed": committed files are no longer listed. If committed is absent, the run could not be checked — do not report "no commit". If resumedCwd is present (a resume or continue run), the session belongs to that directory and grok worked THERE, not in the cwd you passed — review the diff there.

Finish at the review gate: run /grok:review on the diff. Do not commit — the user decides accept, fix, or discard.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

delegate is a command published in the GitHub repository xzawed/claude-grok-build-plugin (3 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 7 tokens to every session and 900 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
